Broadway is the only play in New York lengthy theatrical history to receive and merit the unstinted praise of every critic on every paper publish in New York and this fact alone is recommendation enough to insure its great success anywhere it is presented. The Metropolitan Players will have a real opportunity in this big success and the members may be relied upon to take every advantage of each item of interest. Ralph D. Lee, director of the Metropolitan Players has been laboring long and hard for weeks to make Broadway the outstanding success of the season so far and the production will be something for Salt Lakers to talk long and loud in praise thereof. Gladys George and Ben Erway will have vital human roles and the cast wil all be in capable hands. The epic of the worlds Main Stem will blossom in its colorful glory and the play will surely receive the same reception in Salt Lake as its does everywhere it has been produced.

The cast is an outstanding one with Delores Del Rio in the leading feminine character, Berna, famous heroine of the more than famous Robert W. Service. All of the action of the picture takes on the exciting tempo of the great gold rush to the Klondike, the ltlnd of frozen gold and hardship. The story surges on throughout the unfolding of the film and grips the beholder in the grip of romance of the great gold days. Ralph Forbes, Tully Mar- shall, Harry Carey, Emily Fitzroy, Russell Simpson, Karl Dane and many others bring perfection to the many roles and the scenic grandeur enhance in a very material way the high interest of the story. It is a fine picture, synchronized with music and sound and is an ideal high spot in Salt Lakes entertainment. Of the vaudeville section of the Pantages bill much can be said in praise. Besides Seldon Heaps at the organ and Curg Peterson and his Pantages Orchestra, Jewells Mannikins, Heler and Lorraine, Mack and Stanton and the Six Maxellos offer capital acts and get away to several big hits.
